Insensible Water Loss in Newborn Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 1982
In this review we have described, in some detail, the physical processes involved in water loss from both the skin and lungs. Although at first glance these physical processes may seem complex and confusing, once the basic concepts are grasped, the effect of the many variables in both the babies and their environment on IWL can be seen more clearly ...

Effect of an air-fluidized bed on insensible water loss

Critical Care Medicine, 1987
Air-fluidized beds are increasingly used for patients with burns, decubitus ulcers, trauma, and generalized debility. Fluidized beds provide a medium that is more dense than water for patients to float on by pumping air through silicone-coated microspheres separated from the patient by a monofilament polyester sheet.

Effects of Radiant Warmer on Insensible Water Loss in Newborn Infants

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1974
Twenty-four insensible water loss (IWL) studies, measured as insensible weight loss (IL), were performed on 24 normal, term, newborn infants during the first two days of life. The IWL of infants placed under a radiant warmer (infrared radiant energy source) was significantly greater than the IWL of infants placed in a standard convection-type incubator

Computational Model for Insensible Water Loss From the Newborn

Pediatrics, 1987
A mathematical model for predicting insensible water loss from the newborn infant has been developed, and its adjustable parameters have been evaluated using existing data for respiratory and transepidermal water loss components. Subsequently, the model was verified by using an independent set of available data on total insensible loss from naked ...

Insensible water loss from the Hilite 2400LT oxygenator: an in vitro study

Perfusion, 2012
Background: Neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients are particularly vulnerable to the effects of uncompensated insensible water loss resulting in hypernatraemia. There exists a long-standing relationship between hypernatraemia and varying degrees of cerebral dysfunction. The aim of this study is to explore the degree to which free

Insensible water loss and its assessment in adult patients: a review

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1987
The nature, magnitude and factors influencing insensible water loss are discussed. A brief overview of the current practice of estimating insensible perspiration in Sweden is presented. Finally, a suggestion is put forward regarding a simplified formula for estimating insensible water loss in adult patients, based on information currently available in ...

Insensible Water Loss in the Critically Ill Neonate

American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1981
To quantitate radiant power and insensible water loss under phototherapy, 12 neonates were studied under radiant warmers for one hour each with and without phototherapy. Warmer power was measured by wattmeter and thermopile. Power density received from phototherapy was 4.4 mW/sq cm.

Oxygen Consumption and Insensible Water Loss in Premature Infants Under Radiant Heaters

Pediatrics, 1980
Oxygen consumption (Vo2), carbon dioxide production (Vco2), and insensible water loss (IWL) were measured simultaneously in nine nondistressed, appropriately grown, premature infants less than 2 weeks old, nursed in a conventional, blow-warmed incubator, and were compared with measurements made on the same infants under a radiant heater.

Predicting Insensible Water Loss in Premature Neonates

Neonatology, 1994
The insensible water loss from the skin of premature neonates in various environments can be estimated by modeling the skin as a composite membrane and applying Fick’s law to each layer. Studies involving human skin development have made it possible to apply the proposed model to predict an infant’s insensible water loss as a function of gestational ...
